    Result:
    A harvest of pumpkin scones!

    WTF???!?!?

    This is SO utterly simple, I am going to try this this weekend.
    (It sounds like it's going to be a rainy weekend woohoo.)

    What size can of soup, btw?


    Please post about your results. Its seems too simple!

    Mind you, I always find the lemonade scone recipe to be pretty quick and
    easy.

    That recipe sounds great. Got any more?

    My wife makes these at church camp:

    I've never seen them eaten in the nude.

    So, what's this secret recipe? As told to me _en passant_ in the
    corridors of power, so to speak:

    Ingredients:
    3 cups self raising flower
    1 can Campbells pumpkin soup.

    Method:
    Mix ingredients. Divide into convenient bits and space out on tray.
    Bake until done.

    Result:
    A harvest of pumpkin scones!

    Oh - yuk (sorry!)
    I like my food made from 'real' stuff 🙂

    As one of you out there mentioned, it might be made with home made
    pumpkin soup too. In fact, that might be even better! (As a mate
    said at the pub tonight -- "Pumpkin scones made with tinned soup?...
    Well I suppose they might at least be yellow!"😉

    Ah, now that sounds 'doable'.

    That recipe is so easy and successful. I use mineral water over lemonade
    (fussy about 'real' food) and they are so light and fluffy, and cane be
    made savoury so easily with other yummies added.

    On further thought, I wonder if these would come out more like
    dumplings? (Or individual Yorkshire puds)...

    Very possibly, since my Mum uses scone dough to make her dumplings 😉 I've
    got a coupling of dumpling recipes also that sound very similar to scones -
    just cooked differently.

    Yes, exactly.
    OT - tried the store bought 'Yorkshire Puds" from ALDI on the weekend at
    a friends. They are like vol-au-vent (sp) cases, not at all like a
    traditional pud.
    (Tasty though!)

    (PS - Spell check wants to change vol-au-vent to flatulent. Ha!)

    I can't work up an enthusiasm to try it. It isn't that hard to make the
    ordinary kind! (Well, I suppose it depends how many you make!)

    No rubbing in of butter is what does it for me. I hate rubbing in the butter
    so being able to pour 2 ingredients into some flour and stirring with a
    knife is much more appealing. .... and is quicker (for me anyway).
    ....and I find the lemonade scones to be a bit lighter and fluffier than the
    normal kind.

    that pumpkin soup used to (?) have a recipe on the side for a pasta

    and for the yanks, Campbell's soup has a long running ad campaign in the US.
    Maybe they don't sell the Pumpkin kind though. Although I'm pretty sure I've
    seen it there.

    a lot gets lots in translation doesnt it?!

    yep. In the US, they're called Biscuits.
    they serve them with sloppy stews, for soaking up the gravy. Sort of
    south-western food.

    Nothing like our scones with jam and cream, which are english.

    The most common differences between biscuits and scones are that scones
    include sugar and egg yolk (or whole egg). Not always, of course.

    Bilberry extract is supposed to be very good for the eyes.

    Just the other day, I was amazed to see it in jam form, so I bought it --
    guess I'll have to make a scone.

    Not quite the same: if you haven't: read where it says:

    .. Bilberry is a relative of blueberry, cranberry, and huckleberry, and its
    fruit looks and tastes much like the American blueberry.

    Have you made the pumpnking scones? I really like scones but have not
    made them yet. The pumpkin sounds really good and looks easy to make.
